Has anyone had red itchy skin after taking adderall They are not raised like hives but very red and itch like crazy?

Answer 1

Yep! They are red and itchy at first and then seem to heal but leave behind what appears to be permanent brown scars that aren't raised but rather the opposite. Upon close inspection the spots are slightly depressed and faintly translucent. They wont itch anymore but they'll sure take your confidence about your body down a notch. I have them all over my abdomen and a few on my arms and have for years. I could always cover this area with a shirt. Two doctors and two dermatologists were baffled at the site of them. When I mentioned that I was taking Adderall and that it might be the cause, they all brushed it off as unlikely. Anyway, I just got one on my face. A big one right on my left cheek. It's just starting to turn brown. I was hoping it was just heat rash or something that would go away. But I fear my mug is now forever compromised by this uncommon and unfortunate side effect of adderall. Being an actor and performer, this poses a real problem for my future. A pretty major oversight on the part of the FDA or makers of the drug. Warnings for this side effect only started surfacing a couple years ago at best, but I've been prescribed adderall for nearly ten years. If you're in a position where you can stop taking it without ruining any jobs and projects you have booked with a 2-4 week come-down then I recommend stop taking it or just lower your dose to half what your prescribed.
